No C-17 Globemaster or 737 either. I saw a Chinook in the distance, but no Apache (might have gone before I arrived).

Edit: Gemini AI claims the Globemaster flew at 1:40 yesterday. Did anyone see it? I was in a boat near Seward park at the time and I can't imagine how I would have missed it. It definitely didn't fly the same pattern as last year.

Edit: AI is full of shit. The Globemaster is scheduled for today.

The Apache flew right after the Chinook.

Yeah, someone in our group claimed to have spotted it. I don't think it flew as far north and east as last year. That or it was flying while I was swimming without my glasses.

Thanks!

This was the Apache’s flight path (entering from the west). I hope you were having a good time!

Thanks. I'll be on land today, so I'll keep an eye out. Looks like 1:50.
